ok then
Parkerdevise 22.07.2022
Just received mine this morning and I'm blown away. First of all, looking at the photos on the site there's a couple worrying things. 1. There's visible glue along the neck under the binding and 2. The "veneer" on the headstock isn't flush to the wood close to the nut. Much to my surprise the finish on mine is flawless.

Pros
- The paint finish is flawless and the colour is great!
- The neck has a lovely satin finish and feels great to play.
- The switch and pots feel good and solid but there's a but further down.
- Tuners are solid and seem to hold tune well.
- Have yet to test pickups but I'll be swapping them out anyway.

Cons
- Expected this but the nut isn't great. As they state it is plastic but mine also isn't cut correctly and over hangs the side of the neck and lines the top E too close to the edge because of this. Easy enough to fit a better nut though so not to bothered.
- Frets are good but a couple of sharp edges but nothing a little file and polish work wont fix.
- As mentioned the pots feel solid but having opened it they are cheap mini pots (Expected of course) so worth upgrading.

Bare in mind this guitar is 126 pound and it definitely punches above that price but it is still 126.

Great beginner guitar and a great modding platform.

Great Quality except Nut is too high
Joey w 26.08.2022
(Now take everything I say with a grain of salt as I am a beginner and dont know too much)
From what i can tell, the quality of the guitar is near immaculate. The finish on the guitar particularly on the body and head is great.

However I've had one issue with it, the first few frets are very hard to play as they are very tight which I am pretty certain is due to the nut being too high/not cut deep enough. And especially being a beginner, this makes learning to play chords and such very difficult to do as it's actually quite painful. All the other frets are fine to play however. But over looking this, I am very pleased with this purchase especially for the price.

Seriously impressed!
Suicidemonkey13 05.01.2023
I bought this to see just what you get for £129 and I am very impressed. Great looking guitar with a really nice paint job, after a little tweak on the truss rod and lowering the action it plays like an Ibanez.
The neck is fast and smooth, the fret board feels good and the pots are responsive.
This guitar just goes to show you don't have to break the bank to get a quality instrument.

Most unexpected
Maneias 09.02.2024
I bought this guitar for my partner as its her birthday and she has alot of mental issues and cant go outside so she needed an inside hobby to keep her going. Wow what a guitar for the price, id honestly say its worth maybe double its asking price, sounds great, plays great and not a blemish in sight. Absolutely fantastic as a beginner guitar some of the best ive ever played
